Avast! Continuous Icon Spin

I asked the Avast! forum but no real answer was given so I'll give it a shot here.

Some sites where I watch video my Avast icon spins continuously.(Others it does not.) ESPN/Sportcenter, PBS/POV are examples. It appears that the continuous spin is due to avast Script Shield scanning script repeatedly. On the ESPN site it says that it's scanning facebook, tweetme and/or google script, whereas it's scanning simply the web address of the PBS/POV video.

Any idea what's going on?

I don't have the most recent avast update as I'm waiting for the kinks to be smoothed out.

Thanks.

Hello VFN and welcome to the forums

Have you tried reinstalling Avast?

Tom

I guess I'll take a look at how to do that.

Here's a link to the Avast! removal tool:

avast! Uninstall Utility

Tom

Use that in Safe Mode or try Add/Remove first?

Try Add/Remove first and we'll see how that goes

Tom

Okay. Will write if things go wrong.

Thanks.
